We entered Florida yesterday afternoon thinking about going to Destin for the white sand beaches. We stopped, as always, at the Welcome center for coupons and conversation and talked to a nice young woman about the area. She told us that Fort Walton beach was as nice an area as Destin and she would see if they had any rooms left. She called Ramada in Fort Walton Beach and did secure us a room at a reduced rate for the night. We ate at the Black Pearl, a very nice restaurant before 6 pm and got the senior and early bird rates to make it an inexpensive but delicious dinner.
